@taniwharugby Wonder if Byrne leaving also had something to do with that?

@Kirwan Yeah, and he got way more space in the second half, too, so it was a lot easier for him at 10 than for RM in the first half.
Well instead of discussing A fantasy game of what may have happened, let’s look at what happened when Richie was under pressure. It wasn’t good, and IMO we don’t have time to get him ready in time.
If Aussie are their useful poor selves then we’ll learn nothing about him either in those games.
It's fixable. It's like the Crusaders made changes in the SR Final. One of the changes was that RM was standing deeper, so that the Jags rush defence affected him less and he got more time. In the 2nd half of this test match, he also stood deeper and that's one of the reasons why things started getting better in his game.

@Kirwan no one really deserved to win tbf.
Boy, Fozzie got some work to do if he expects to have a job next year...
He should never even have got this job on his Chiefs form. He’s a teflon coated lock-in for 2020 unfortunately.
If we don't win the World Cup??? Fat fuckin' chance.

Were the Boks ever onside?
I don't know when that was posted but from the 51st minute on -no. They knew they didn't have to (back line)There is rush defense, and off side, the officials weren't looking. Well done Bokke.

Todd and Read pretty forgettable. We really missed Cane and Ardie.
Oh yes.
A lot of questions answered I think. I have a nasty 1991 feeling about our selections, but still time to rectify which I hope this was about...

Got on the park. Didn't get injured or sent off. Ergo genius.

“Losing BBBR is a big one. Probably one of the two guys i would pick as essential for our RWC chances.
How long does a dislocated shoulder take to heal?”A full dislocated shoulder will rule him out until next year.
However often the press refer to an AC injury as a “dislocated shoulder “.
Looking at him as he left the field I suspect it’s the former.

Was SBW as bad as everyone made out? I watched first half on my phone coming back from the State House Rugby on the train but he didn't look as bad as the comments (obviously not saying he was good
) but will do i full screen rewatch tomorrow..No-one was as bad as everyone made out. Mass hysteria!
First half a bunch of guys had butter-fingers and killed any chance of momentum. But, many of these guys probably haven't played a game of footy since their teams finished their Super campaigns. Second half, when we started holding onto the ball and develop some cohesion, we were actually pretty good.
Boks were very physical, but a noticeable drop in intensity after 30 minutes. We should really have banked that game - we were the better team in the second half - but it finished a bit like the game in Dunedin a few years back when that Bok halfback scored a try at the death.
I just looked at the tie-breaker fine-print in the rules and it says the team whose star lock goes to hospital with a dislocated shoulder is the loser - which seems quite accurate! By far the worst thing about this game.
